Ace pops to the paintshop

As any garage reputation will proceed them, there is always a bit of a wait

A complementry tank of fuel, Ace is preparing for another mission.



Grabbing a lift to the cockpit from his bunk



Air crew finish strapping him in before take off

I thought that the old `Striker needed some extra firepower, so I`ve borrowed the
multi carriers from the Rattler.
Really want a nice tailfin design, going to take a bit of surfin, anyone have any suggestions?

Found a couple on here

If you check out the Hannants website (Decals section) they have some great designs fron the US Navy www.hannants.co.uk

Picked up a Striker a month or so back with no fins, seller emailed the other day having found
the missing fins and is posting them on, what a seller !!
Anyway, on his travels, Ace is enjoying the scenery and spots a skirmish in progress.









Still confused to how the Snowcat turned up!!!

Andy,

What glider are you in?

[scoobydie]

Its the Viking, took some Air Cadets out the other week and was lucky enough
to be given a trip
I did my solo around 15 yrs ago when I was a cadet myself, to much fun

[paul463]

Solo'd myself 21 years ago! In the Viking. So are you with 1344 Sqn?

[scoobydie]

I was with 1367 ( Caerleon ) back then,took a 10 yr break and now a C.I at 210 ( Newport ),
Was persuaded to join up again when at a quiet day at the range , had the chance to knock
300 rounds off with the fantastic L98.
The only rifle designed to shoot holes through wood
So where were you based?

[paul463]

I was with 2450 (Dudhope) Sqn In Dundee, got all the way up to CWO. Did the Para course too. Was at RAF Gatow the year the Berlin Wall came down. Had a ball. All the old boys meet up at New Year for a pub crawl back in the day it was 20 Pubs followed by a curry. Now it's half a dozen followed by a curry!
